For the record Kieran I wasn't dissing The Corrs when I started this thread. They seem like OK people and REASONABLY good musicians. But I couldn't help noticing that both Michael Thompson and Simon Philips pay on their first album.
So there IS an AOR connection then!

Incidentally Michael Thompson, Michael Landau and Steve Smith are among the people who pay on the latest SAVAGE GARDEN album as well. Hmmm. Better give that another listen too then!
